    They called just awhile ago... She has seen some of the bills on him.

    That first Epicel surgery when they did his upper torso, $75,000 and the other two were $45,000. We knew it was expensive but had no idea how expensive. (Epicel is skin, grown in a lab from cells from his own body.) His first bill at the hospital (for the first month) was $330,000.00..

    That MSRA infection has showed it's ugly self back up in his body so he is on treatment for that again and his days now are FULL of going here for this treatment, going there for that, go back waaaaay over here for something else. A full time job of him being on the road keeping up with doctors, physical therapy, whirpool baths and attending all the things set up for him by the doctors. His healing has become even more a full time job for him in running all over the place. The best news is that he hasn't had ANY pain killers for a LONG time and they are stopping a lot of the other medicines he has been on this last year.

    His wife said today has been a hard day for her too, said she keeps remembering one year ago today how her life was changed and all the events of the day...

    I'm so pleased to hear Eddie is still on the way to full recovery. The MSRA is nasty, yes, but he already knows how to beat that back. It's a matter of time and he knows that he has the patience. Regina, too, bless her heart.

    What a great story, he looks so happy in the pictures
    I'll pray that everything goes well and that he beats the MRSA.
    What a fighter!
